Consider the given question and decide which of the following statements is sufficient to answer the question.
What is the weight often iron balls if each ball is of the same weight?
Statements:
1. One-fourth of each ball’s weight is 5 kg.
2. The total weight of three iron balls is 20 kg more than the total weight of two iron balls.
Let weight of each ball is x
From statement 1
$$\frac{1}{4}\times{x}=5$$
$$x=20$$
from statement 2
x+x+x=20+2x
x=20
So
Either statement 1 or 2 is sufficient
